The sun shines for everyone is a photographic immersion into the world of conspiracy. They highlight hidden chains and manipulations, suggest that there are no coincidences, that nothing is what it seems. The project combines documentary photography and fiction. Through self portraits, archival images and text, it investigates photography's ambiguous relationship with truth. Engaging both documentary and conceptual photographic practices, it reconstructs a conspiratorial world to offer a broad understanding of our fears and beliefs. And more than a crazy idea, it is a conviction.
